Trading using enhanced volume-weighted average price in illiquid markets
The patent application (Publication Number: US20240037661A1) discloses a method for facilitating trading of an item by utilizing an enhanced volume-weighted average price. The method involves the use of programmed computers to determine the starting value for the enhanced volume-weighted average price for a specific sampling period. Subsequently, the computers continuously update the enhanced volume-weighted average price based on new information such as unmatched bids, unmatched offers, and new trades. At the end of the sampling period, the computers calculate the final enhanced volume-weighted average price, which is then published for use as a price to settle a contract.
This innovative method aims to provide traders with a more accurate and reliable pricing mechanism by incorporating real-time market data into the calculation of the enhanced volume-weighted average price. By leveraging technology to automate the process of determining and updating the price, the method offers a streamlined and efficient way to settle contracts based on the final enhanced volume-weighted average price. Overall, this patent application introduces a novel approach to trading items by enhancing the volume-weighted average price calculation process, potentially improving transparency and efficiency in the trading market.
